Description

I love experimenting with unique lenses and telescopes. This week I foud a beautiful 300mm F4.5 lens made by Rokkor in the 60s. It cost me a whopping 7 euros at the flea market.
I of course had to try on Andromeda, so I can compare it to my others lenses. This lens is surprisingly sharp wide open, with minimal stigmatism at the corners. The biggest drawback is of course the fringing present across all F stops, but it doesn't bother me as much.
Only had time for an hour of imaging on a windy, sqeezed between the clouds vanishing and my bedtime
